At Penn State University, I studied Organizational Psychology and supported research in the early days of e-commerce profiles collecting data for marketing professors in the Smeal College of Business.

I started my career in graphic design as a children’s and sportswear product designer in NYC . I was a creative director for an urban apparel startup brand, which is funny, because I’m not cool enough to wear the products I designed. I dove head first into web design learning from Jeff Zeldman’s and Eric Meyer’s books, and from countless others sharing knowledge via Lynda.com.

I wrote for UXmatters.com asking if users need to be made more aware of default browsers and observed some trends in UI design styles, like skeuomorphic vs flat UI design.
